New Day
03:59
|
|||
|
the clock is counting the hours down
minutes turn into days
the time I see in front of me quietly slips away
the world is stilled by the smallest things
my place here is in doubt
and the life I thought I knew has turned inside out
we were there once upon a time
holding hands while we dreamed
of a place where hearts get a second chance
and we become destiny
leave me here alone at sea
the desert island that I am
forsaking the shipwreck world outside
for a castle in the sand
I rode a wave on a moonlit shore
to a land where vision bends
I watched the moon and stars go by
in a night that had no end
a comet lights up the midnight sky
in a smokey memory
of shadows dancing in a firelight glow
and your hand was on my knee
leading me to a solemn vow
to drink in the moment deep
and live my life in the here and now
until the final sleep

Runaway Train
02:26
|
|||
|
dangerous curves ahead
high-ballin’ down heartbreak hill
90 miles an hour & the brakes don’t work
and I’m just spinning my wheels
‘cause loving you is a one way ticket
on a runaway train
can my heart survive this frantic ride
on the Cannonball of pain
destination broken heart
the last stop on the line
the train derails emotions spill
think I’m gonna crash this time
I’m in too deep I’m losing sleep
moving too fast to breath
first class seat on the love express
heading straight for tragedy

Take The Blame
03:09
|
|||
|
I’ll take the blame for my mistakes
the ones I didn’t make
the chances I didn’t take
and the hearts I didn’t break
I’ll walk the line and be the one
that stares into the sun
I’ll wear a painted smile
grinning in denial
I’m cashing in all my regrets
for ones I ain’t had yet
I’ll roll the dice I’ll play the game
Stick my hand into the flame
I’ll pay the debt no matter the cost
forget the things I’ve lost
ignore the fool standing behind
way back in my mind

Around The World
04:04
|
|||
|
I walked around the world searching for a clue
running through a barren canyon land
I climbed way up high on a mountain side
and slid down dunes of golden sand
voices through the years echo in my ears
saying vanity just turns to dust
I walked around the world searching for a clue
looking for a dream to trust
I sailed the seven seas following a star
I thought it had a story to tell
I kept a watch all night for a sign of the times
wishing on the stars that fell
voices through the years echo in my ears
saying vanity just turns to dust
I sailed the seven seas following a star
looking for a dream to trust
I thought I heard the sound of a song on the wind
singing in the starry night
and it’s haunting refrain whispered my name
tomorrow always hides it’s face from sight
voices through the years echo in my ears
saying vanity just turns to dust
I thought I heard the sound of a song on the wind
looking for a dream to trust
looking for a world to trust

Losing Again
03:23
|
|||
|
Just when I think the sun is gonna shine
just when I think I’m at the front of the line
just when I think everything will be fine
I keep losing again
Just when I think I really am the king
just when I think that I’m gonna rule everything
just when I think that I’ve grabbed the golden ring
I keep losing again
Every time I think I’m right on top
I stumble on the truth and then I drop
the door to success just won’t let me in
I keep losing again
Just when I think I’m finally gonna win
just when I think happiness will begin
just when I think my ship is coming in
I keep losing again
Every time I think I’m right on top
I stumble on the truth and then I drop
the door to success just won’t let me in
I keep losing again
just about the time I’m finally gonna win
I keep losing again

Mistaken Intentions
03:47
|
|||
|
mistaken intentions colliding dimensions
where unresolved histories remain
repressed emotions deep as the ocean
undefined rules of the game
(chorus)
grasping at straws a smile may suggest
affections that no longer remain
as memories clutch the past the moment slips away
never taking time to explain
excuses embrace circumstantial themes
while unconcerned eyes look away
searching for a sign a reason to believe
in a shadow of yesterday
(chorus)
brief recognition is no invitation
to the place where the heart longs to return
no opportunity for a second chance
is a lesson it doesn’t want to learn
(chorus)
mistaken intentions imagined transgressions
while unconcerned eyes look away

Still Raining
04:21
|
|||
|
the sun is rising breathing day anew
leaves drinking in the shine
the distant sky bathes in it’s blue
but it’s still raining here inside
time limps along passing slowly by
seconds chasing minutes playing through
hours marching forth in uniform parade
but it’s still raining here inside
memories depend on continuity
why can’t things stay the same
one excepts the change another’s clinging on
there’s so much emotion in a name
the traffic light will smile it’s changing color beam
the busy city rumbles through it’s day
morning coffee breaks make their way to quitting time
but it’s still raining here inside
memories depend on continuity
why can’t life stay the same
one excepts the change another’s clinging on
there’s so much emotion in a name
a decision firmly made a promise that binds
the cycle revolves and then completes
the hardest step ahead a stumble at the close
and it’s still raining here inside

Can't Tell Me
03:11
|
|||
|
to heck with that sez I I'll punch 'em all in the eye
trying to keep me down calling me a clown
they can't tell me what to do
they make a great big squawk with all their babbling talk
talking all that trash gives me a rash
they can't tell me what to do
who do they think they are I'll put 'em in a jar
they think their the boss I don't give a toss
don't they know who I am I’ll hit ‘em with a leg of lamb
the biggest cheese of all I'll make ’em squall
they can't tell me what to do
I drink whenever I please till I fall on my knees
I'll barf on their shoes ain't they heard the news
they can't tell me what to do
put a bag of poop on their porch then I'll light it with a torch
ring the doorbell watch ‘em stomp like hell
they can't tell me what to do
who do they think they are I’ll put a big scratch in their car
they think they got me on the run I’ll kick ‘em in the bun
they wanna put me in a box but I’m crazy like a fox
he who runs away will fight another day
they can't tell me what to do
who do they think they are I'll whack ‘em with a crowbar
they think that they’re the bomb well I’m gonna tell their mom
to heck with that sez I I'll punch 'em all in the eye
trying to keep me down calling me a clown
they can't tell me what to do
I'll barf on their shoes ain't they heard the news
they can't tell me what to do

Nothing For Christmas
03:00
|
|||
|
you’re dressing up and putting on your fancy party gown
heading for the neon colored cheating part of town
I said I’d give you anything just keep me company
but you just slammed the door and said
there’s nothing you want from me
So this year you’re getting what you want
underneath the tree
I’m giving you nothing for Christmas
cause nothing’s what you want from me
I work all day just like a dog and when I come home at night
you’re still in bed with an aching head and you look a fright
well I must be invisible cause you look right through me
when you say as you walk away
there’s nothing you want from me
I begged and begged you for your love
down on my bended knee
stay home tonight and we can watch The Love Boat on TV
I’ll take blue pills and give you thrills love you 3X3
but you just laughed at me and said
there’s nothing you want from me

Outside
03:45
|
|||
|
there’s a world outside my window
far away and near
of crimson sun and lucid dreams
shining crystal clear
fallen leaves and turning grass
that carry days along
while the seasons try to find
the place where they belong
I live inside transparent time where moments capture me
illustrating different versions of reality
people come and people go
some just passing through
a brief embrace then fade away
except for me and you
paint by number fantasies
dance before my eyes
coloring between the lines
of visions passing by
I saw your heart touching wilder things
as shadows fill the air
I watched the sound of music spring
from the ribbons in your hair
a melody of familiar tones
singing history
follwing this ancient path
where we find memory
there’s a world outside my window
an eternity of sky
imagination unrestrained
when given wings to fly

The Hands of Time
03:44
|
|||
|
what ever happened to the dinosaurs
did they stare too long at a falling star
whatever happened to their giant tails
did they turn into a puddle that runs your car
what ever happened to them old pharaohs
did they fall asleep in their pyramids
whatever happened in the mummy’s dream
did they forget where their tombs are hid
the hands of time the hands of time
the hands of time history’s shaped by the hands of time
whatever happened to the knights of old
did they get too cold in their shiny suits
whatever happened to their castles of stone
were the walls torn down by marauding brutes
whatever happened to the bounding main
holding up the sailing ships
what ever happened to the sea monsters
did they wind up being fish and chips
whatever happened to Aladin’s lamp
did his magic carpet carry it away
whatever happened to the Genie’s bottle
holding wishes for a rainy day
whatever happened to the musketeers
with their blunderbuss and fancy hats
whatever happened to the pied piper
with his magic flute calling to the rats
